We build the draft
We research your live site and draft a source-backed listing for your review.

Choose Verified, Backlink + AI-cite, Optimize, or an add-on. We confirm your Founding Vendor rate.
- Step 4
Pay and go live
Once payment is in, your badge, dofollow link, and placement go live.
- Why should I pay now if your search traffic is still early?
- Because the core value does not depend on our Google rankings. A dofollow link is a real link the day it goes live. AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity) are already our fastest-growing channel, and a verified, source-backed listing is what they cite when a buyer asks about your category, so you become the named source, independent of Google. Being cited is brand visibility first, not a guaranteed click. The Verified badge is real trust for buyers now. Sponsorships and featured slots do depend on traffic, which is why they are priced as modest launch offers.
- Is a good ranking or verdict for sale?
- No. Money buys clearly-labeled amplification: a placement, a badge, a link, a boost that is always marked. The buyer-facing verdict and fit rating are never for sale, and we only ever feature a tool we would genuinely recommend to a buyer. That is what keeps a placement worth paying for, it lands as a real suggestion, not an ad in disguise.
- Will these prices go up?
- The founding rate next to each package is held for your first 12 months. After that it moves toward the standard rate shown beside it, as traffic and demand grow. You can see both, what you pay now and what it becomes later, so joining the founding cohort now locks the lower rate.
- What is a dofollow link and why is it a paid feature?
- A dofollow link passes SEO value to your site; a nofollow link does not. By default every outbound vendor link on FindThatSoftware is nofollow, so we never give away our link equity for free. A verified, paid listing earns a dofollow link. Directories that pretend every listing is a free backlink are not being straight with you.
- How do I pay, and when does it go live?
- Pick a package and pay on the spot through secure checkout. Payment does not auto-publish anything: we verify your listing against your live site first, then switch on your badge, link, and placement, usually within a working day. If your tool is not one we would recommend to a buyer, we refund you rather than list it. That review is the whole point of the badge.
